“Attendees can look forward to gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental topics and ever-changing regulations related to the EHS issues surrounding diisocyanates, which are increasingly important for today’s polyurethane professionals,” said Lee Salamone, senior director of CPI.

Titled “Introduction to Environmental, Health and Safety Issues Relative to Diisocyanates,” the pre-conference workshop will be held on Sunday, Sept. 21 from 1p.m. to 5 p.m. At the workshop, industry experts will discuss the fundamental concepts of EHS regulations, industrial hygiene, toxicology, medical surveillance and exposure controls.
